Ask HN: How to Move into Deep Tech?
I'm a backend engineer doing fairly standard CRUD development in Python, serving enterprisey customers.
Imagine that I wanted to move into another area where I get to work with robots, biotech, space tech etc. on a regular basis.
Can you give an example of how you would / did go about making this shift? Any common pitfalls? Should I just go for it?
Thank you
- HeavyStorm 5y agoExcellent question. I kinda faced this issue my whole life. Right now I'm pursuing a position in Big Tech where I at least hope to be doing more challenging / relevant work.

- bitwitcpp 5y agoThe grass is greener on the other side... but I think a mix if both (CRUD + Deep Tech)is good for health! I have been doing deep tech (if you call kernel programing that..) for about 20 years and have recently moved to CRUD weby stuff and I feel the massive potential of it to impact business, start something of your own (SAAS) really heady.
- bckr 5y agothanks for sharing your experience! Yes, the grass is greener... and I'm green enough that I must have a look! I agree about the potential of SaaS. If I can find the right culture fit, I'm down to stay in SaaS for a while.
